object pooling framework

Question

any suggestions for a C# object pooling framework? requirements are multi-thread support and a pool size limit, when a thread requests an object but none is available, it's blocked until one of the other objects is freed.

Answer 1

I don't think there's a framework that will do this for you.

You can implement one yourself with a trivial amount of code though. (1 class, ~20 lines of code)

Have a look at the MSDN article here

Answer 2

Try the enterprise services namespace:

Depending on what you need, this may do the trick for you.
